My Immoral Detective System

Zion was already exhausted by this point and cursed his weak human body a million times in his heart. But he didn't give up. He continued to fight even more furiously than the masked man was given a hard time dealing with him. The latter fumed in anger soon when he found himself cornered like this. Even while fighting with a Qi-infused weapon, the masked man still couldn't overcome a human!

The man was so angry that he couldn't help but glare at the person standing in front of him. He had never felt so helpless while dealing with humans before! Even though his constitution wasn't very good, and he had five spiritual roots, which meant he couldn't get above the first level anytime soon, he was still confident that it was an easy feat to handle a human who couldn't even use magic. He had long known that the human body was way weaker as compared to others.

But now when he saw how this particular human stubbornly held onto the sword and fought even after getting exhausted to the point of fainting, the masked man's mind snapped. He had always been a calm and collected person in front of others, but his heart carried so many emotions that he wanted to let out but couldn't.

When he had worn this silver mask for the first time, he finally realized that he could do anything he wanted, and he wouldn't even have to act pretentious and kind in front of others. Although he loved kids, he still couldn't forget his goal.

But this damned human was coming between himself and his goal! He had to get rid of this human. The masked man calculated in his heart that this human must have become too exhausted to do anything. If he were to increase the intensity of the fight, perhaps the human wouldn't be able to dodge and die on the spot!

As soon as this thought entered his head, the masked man immediately decided to follow through with his newly created plans. He stopped at a certain distance in the corridor and chanted a spell as he threw away the metal pipe in another corner. Then, two energy balls appeared on his palms that glistened brightly.

He stared smugly at the human. "Now, I don't think you have the energy to dodge this. You may be too exhausted to even take a step."

Zion bit his lips and took a few deep breaths. The masked man was right. He couldn't lift a single finger, but this wasn't the first time he had become so tired. When he would practice with Lia, he would also become too tired to lift up a finger. Even after this, that dhampir princess would continue to attack him endlessly without tiring even a single bit.

This was why even after getting exhausted to this point, Zion continued to fight as if he were habitual to dodge and attack with his eyes closed.

The masked man finally couldn't take it anymore. With the way this human was behaving, it seemed that Zion was ready to take him down while dying out of exhaustion himself! The man gritted his teeth and glared at the person. If this fight continued on, he was afraid that he would soon lose all of his powers.

It was during this time that he had accidentally ended up killing that innocent elf couple, but the masked man didn't find out, and neither did Zion. They were too engrossed to see what was happening beside them. And even the elf couple didn't make a noise and died all of a sudden.

At this time, the masked man was still wondering whether he had any other choice or not. He could only use the energy balls or…

An idea struck in his mind. The first level people could use three types of spells: first was to create a protective layer around themselves during a fight, the second was to create energy balls, and third was to insert their Qi in any weapon that touched their hands. The elves who had more power could easily send their Qi inside bigger objects, making it stronger.

So if the masked man were to find something bigger enough to crush this human's head, wouldn't it be easier to deal with this person?

As soon as this idea formed in his head, he immediately wanted to work on it. He glanced around and found a hammer. He chanted a spell as he charged the hammer with his Qi, and it shone brightly. After that, he glanced at the human and said, "Any last words?"

At this point, Zion's vision blurred. His body ached to the point that he almost felt numb. He could tell that he had dragged his body to the limit, and he couldn't fight anymore. And when he heard those words from the masked man's mouth, his mind buzzed.

What last words? The masked man was already fighting unfairly. What right did he have to say that?

But before he could do anything, he felt something shiny was being thrown at his face.

Zion had already been fighting with this masked man for hours, and he had surpassed his body limit. At this point, he couldn't even dare to blink for the fear of not being able to open his eyes again. And when the shiny thing approached him, he wanted to move his body and dodge, but he couldn't. It felt as if his body was nailed on the spot.

Soon, the hammer approached the human and hit his head with a thud. If someone's head were hit by a normal hammer, he would faint for sure due to concussion. But the weapon here was surcharged with Qi, which made it even stronger. Zion almost felt as if he were hit by a hammer triple its size.

Blood spurted out of his wound as the hammer fell on the ground. He couldn't stand anymore now, and he couldn't even think. His mind brought back the memory of when he had died in his previous life, and along with it, he could also remember the level of pain he had felt while his entire body was burning to death.

What he was feeling was quite similar.

The pain made it feel like someone was splitting his head apart and repeatedly hitting him with a hammer.

Would he die just like that a second time?
